What the heck is with seperate boards based on relationship status?

Why have you changed the families/relationships board and set up two separate ones - 'money saving couples' and 'money saving singletons'????

I can see a few don't like it,some feeling segregated due to being single...

    Just spotted there is a separate one for parents,grandparents etc too. That's not quite the same as dividing based on relationship status though is it

    Lets see how many stereotypes we can get into one subforum heading. :D
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I think they should also separate other boards too...

    Benefits board -one for workers,one for non workers.

    House buying,selling renting blah blah whatever board -one for home owners,one for private renters and one for the socially housed

    Umm,I'll see what else I can think of that'll make posters feel at home ;)

    Just want to thank the genius who analysed this demographic and decided on the split. I have been in danger of having my views changed by the ideas of people who are different to me, but you have saved me from that now.

    As a long standing smug married heaven forbid my mind might be broadened by single people.

    :D

    Not sure if I can comment on this thread as it was started by a "singleton". Can I get clarification on that please?
